Polokwane City head coach Willy Moloto has offered a blunt assessment of the Glamour Boys' defensive vulnerabilities following their recent encounter. The Rise and Shine boss believes he has identified the definitive blueprint for unsettling the Soweto giants.
The Glamour Boys star has offered insight into the mindset at Naturena as the Betway Premiership title race continues to take shape. With the competition at the top intensifying, the Soweto giants’ defender insists the team must remain focused on their own performances rather than what their title rivals are doing.
The Amakhosi right-back has provided an inside look into the fierce competition for places currently unfolding at the outfit. With the Soweto giants looking to overhaul their fortunes this season, the battle for a slot in the match day squad has become one of the most talked-about selection headaches for the technical team.
Amakhosi have ended the speculation surrounding the future of Solomons by handing the versatile wing-back a contract extension ahead of the upcoming campaign. The 29-year-old had been facing an uncertain period at Naturena with his previous deal expiring at the end of June.
The Glamour Boys have taken a significant step in their squad planning by securing the future of one of their key defensive assets ahead of the upcoming campaign. The Soweto giants are wasting no time in structuring their roster as they prepare for a fresh start under new leadership at Naturena.
The Bafana Bafana right-back has revealed his mindset regarding a difficult campaign with Amakhosi that saw his involvement limited by both injury and selection choices. The long-serving versatile defender has maintained a professional outlook despite facing one of the most challenging periods of his career at the outfit.
Amakhosi are facing a major decision regarding the future of Dillan Solomons as the defender enters the final weeks of his current deal at Naturena. The former Moroka Swallows man has found consistency hard to come by during a frustrating period on the side lines.
The right-back has made his long-awaited return to competitive action after being sidelined since October 2025. He showed no signs of rust, delivering top performances on his comeback. It was a statement display, proving he has quickly shaken off the effects of his lengthy absence.
Chiefs co-coach has lifted the lid on the ongoing personnel headaches affecting the Soweto giants, admitting that the technical team is being pushed into constant tactical reshuffles. Even after a morale-boosting 3-1 triumph over Orbit College FC, Amakhosi are still sweating over the fitness of several key first-team regulars, keeping the selection dilemma very much alive.
After back-to-back victories, Amakhosi return to action on Monday hoping to get one more win. This will be their first engagement after the international break, and their fans hope the players are in good form to continue with the good run. With the PSL debutants struggling, it might be another perfect chance for the Soweto giants to collect more points.
The Glamour Boys are under incredible pressure to turn the tide after four consecutive losses. Against the Premier Soccer League debutants, they enjoy a home advantage, but playing in front of their fans will put them under more pressure. Another loss, or even a draw, will only act to jeopardise their position, with more ground ceded in the league's title race.
The Glamour Boys are enduring their worst run of form this season, having suffered three defeats in a row across all competitions. The Soweto giants hope to bounce back against the Natal Rich Boyz on Tuesday at the uMhlathuze Stadium. This will surely be a defining moment for co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze.
Amakhosi are gearing up for a blockbuster encounter against their traditional rivals, the Sea Robbers. After a recent loss to Stellenbosch, the Glamour Boys are under immense pressure to get back to winning ways. However, the challenge is expected to be a daunting one, as the Bucs are also looking for a morale-boosting victory.
The tacticians have been in charge of Amakhosi since Nasreddine Nabi left just as the season began. Both coaches were assistants to Nabi but were left untouched when the Soweto giants parted ways with the Nedbank Cup-winning Tunisian. Although they have led Chiefs to a historical milestone in the CAF Confederation Cup, their reign has been described as a disaster in waiting for the club.
Chiefs are spreading their wings by taking some of their home games beyond Gauteng and into other provinces. The Soweto giants are confident in their nationwide appeal, knowing they attract huge crowds wherever they play. Their widespread following ensures that even on “away” turf, they enjoy overwhelming backing from their supporters across South Africa.
The Glamour Boys are yet to find convincing results in their CAF Confederations Cup group campaign. They opened their account with a 2–1 defeat to Al Masry in Egypt, before managing only a single point in their home fixture against Zamalek on Saturday — a match in which they had hoped to capitalise on home advantage.
Interestingly, in both encounters, Chiefs’ only moments of real threat came from an unexpected source, with right-back Dillan Solomons popping up as the unlikely goal contributor.
